tion," said Mr. Hill, "and in no sec
tion of the slate have we been re

Willamette Valley. 1 have unlimited
confidence in this particular section of
the state and I am here to confer
with Porer llrothers for the purpose
of ascertaining their plans with ref
erence to the construction of the pro
posed railroad to the mountains. I
hope that they will sec the wisdom
of bringing a logging road to Albany
instead of starting a new town in the

pleasing talk. V. P. Davidson of the

Annvillc, Pa., May 30. A few weeks
ago a cat in the family of Roy
Spanglcr brought home a litter of
kittens. About the same time a
Plymouth Rock hen, kept by the
family, began hiding her eggs and
evinced a strong desire to set, but
her nest was broken up.
On Sunday, cat, kittens and hen
disappeared and efforts to find them
proved unavailing.
The next day the hen was found
on an old nest in an abandoned coop
She was chased away and beneath
net were louiui me Kincus wno nad
been missing for several days. Some
tunc later the cat was seen to steal
into the coop.
The hen was released and immedi
ately returned to the coop where she
was found later silting beside that cat
which was then nursing the kittens.

Fitted If Desired
Hundreds of Local Fans See
Albany Athletics Pile Up Big
Score Here Yesterday.
MOUNT ANGEL'S PITCHERS
WERE EASY MARKS
Lyle Bigbee Pitched First Game
For Albany; Carson Bigbee
Made Home Run.
Hundreds of local fans saw the Al
bany Athletics swamp the Mount An
gel team by a score of 13 to 3 here
on the local grounds yesterday after
noon. The local boys found no trouble in
hitting the Ansel's offerings for
pitchers and the result was that three
of them were sent to the mound dur
ing the game. Martin started out for
the visitors in the box but was taken
out in the first inning, Albany gaining
lour runs in mis lulling. ancroacn
was taken out in the seventh after
Albany's fast little third baseman,
Carson Bigbee, brought in two runs
besides himself on a home run in
side the lot. It was after this inning
tnat .Martin, wno started the game
for the visitors, went back into the
box to finish the game.
Lyle liigbec pitched his first game
for tlie local team this season. He
allowed only two hits and pitched a
masterful game tnrougliout the con
test. In the judgment of many he
deserved a shutout which no doubt
would have been the casj had he had
the support he deserved for his team
mates made six errors.

ANOTHER GAME OFBASEBALL
PLAYED HEBE" TOMORROW
Atheletics Will Tangle With
Fast Knights of Columbus
of Portland.
Another postponed game of baseball
will be played tomorrow on the local
ground beginning at 3 o'clock when
the Knights or Columhus team ot
Portland will meet the Athletics. The
Knights played' three games with the
home team last year, winning the first
game early in the season 7 to 2 and
losing both to Albany July 4th, by
scores of 4 to 3 and 2. The K. C.
team is undoubtedly the fastest ama
teur baseball team in Portland and
their coming here always insures the
closest and fastest game of the sea
son, Their line-up would indicate
that Provost and Van Hoomissen
would be the pitchers but thus far this
season Manager Reilly has secured
the services of one of McCredic's
best pitchers and it is quite certain
he will not miss an opportunity of
bringing the best slab artist obtain
able to put in against the local boys.
It is believed that Al Carson, of the
Portland Coast League team, will be
the twirler who will be depended upon
by Reilly to win the game. Patterson
will pitch for Albany. Both Colbert
and Swanu, who were unable to play
yesterday, will be on hand for the
game tomorrow. The probable lineup
is as follows:
Albany C. Bigbee. 3b; Swann, 2h;

Suicide Yields to Impulse.

had long ago predicted he would some
day, the Rev. Clarke Jones, 50 years
old, took a heavy dose of carbolic

a farm and is well to do, came in and
requested of the probate judge that
inquiry be held as to his mental con
dition. He said he could not pass a drug
store without an almost irresistible
impulse to. buy some sort of poison.
The jury found him mentally unbal
anced and he was sent to an asylum.
Later he was released and came
home, finally carrying into execution
the thing he had feared all along.
His wife and three children survive.
